Effects of cycloheximide treatment on in-vitro development of porcine parthenotes and somatic cell nuclear transfer embryos.
This study aimed to verify the beneficial effect of cycloheximide (CHX) treatment on the development of porcine somatic cell nuclear transfer (NT) embryos, which were constructed with enucleated oocytes and cumulus cells by using a single direct current (DC) pulse. In the first experiment, a single DC pulse applied to the induction of fusion and activation of NT embryos gave a high fusion rate. However, cleavage and subsequent development of fused couplets (NT embryos) to the blastocyst stage were poor. Experiment 2 was conducted to determine whether CHX treatment could enhance metaphase II (M II) oocyte activation and improve the subsequent parthenogenetic development. After giving the DC pulse and incubation with or without CHX, M II oocytes incubated with CHX showed higher cleavage and development to blastocysts compared with those incubated without CHX (P < 0. 05). Experiment 3 was carried out to verify the beneficial effect of CHX on the development of NT embryos. The NT embryos treated with the DC pulse and CHX treatment showed higher cleavage and subsequent development compared with those treated with the DC pulse alone (P < 0.05) . The present study demonstrates that CHX treatment enhances the electrical stimulus-induced activation of oocytes and NT embryos, and improves the subsequent development of parthenotes and NT embryos. The results indicate that protein synthesis inhibition treatment required for the induction of oocyte activation promotes the development of NT embryos.

A preliminary study of the genetic diversity of Xinjiang Tarim red deer (Cervus elaphus yarkandensis) using the microsatellite DNA method.
To evaluate the genetic diversity of the Xinjiang Tarim red deer (Cervus elaphus yarkandensis) population, we analyzed the frequencies of microsatellite alleles. Samples were collected from 3 isolated populations in Xaya, Lopnur and Qarqan of Xinjiang. Although 10 microsatellite loci were examined, alleles of 133 to 190 base-pairs were detected for only 3 loci: BM5004, BM4208 and BM888. The average observed multilocus heterozygosity was 0.08 +/- 0.04 for the Xaya, 0 for the Lopnur, and 0.17 +/- 0.08 for the Qarqan population. The average heterozygosity of all populations was 0.08 +/- 0.02. The observed heterozygosities were significantly lower than the expected values. The present results suggest that the bottleneck effect has occurred in the populations of the Xinjiang Tarim red deer.

In vitro viability of mouse oocytes vitrified in an ethylene glycol-based solution.
Ovulated mouse oocytes denuded of their cumulus cells, were vitrified in a solution containing 7 M ethylene glycol as the sole cryoprotectant using one or two steps of exposure before vitrification and were diluted in 1 M sucrose solution in 5 or 10 min after warming. The results proved that the viability of oocytes are detrimentally affected by exposure to the vitrification solution even without vitrification. At 5 min dilution time, the two-step exposure was superior to the one-step in terms of the post-warming recovery rate of vitrified oocytes with normal morphology and their subsequent development to the blastocyst stage (p < 0.01) after fertilization in vitro. At 10 min dilution time, no significant difference between one- or two-step exposure was found. The effect of the addition of 0.5 M sucrose to the vitrification solution was also determined and did not result in a significant improvement in the viability of oocytes vitrified in one-step and diluted for 10 min. In conclusion, the results in this study indicate that oocytes can be vitrified with 7 M ethylene glycol as the sole cryoprotectant in the vitrification solution, and that the recovery of normal oocytes after one-step exposure in the vitrification solution can be improved by 10 min dilution time. However, the improvement in the recovery rate of oocytes with normal morphology and their subsequent developmental in vitro was not improved by the addition of 0.5 M sucrose to the vitrification solution.
